Requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to establish the Increasing Engagement in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Program, a grant program for public school units to engage in experiential STEM education targeted at students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade. Sets forth a deadline and certain program criteria for grant applications. Allowable uses of the fund include, but are not limited to, stipends for participating teachers and partnering with third parties for services or hosting competitions that further the Program's purpose. Establishes a 2024 deadline for recipient selection by the Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction as well as selection criteria aimed to select public school unit grantees that reflect the geographic and population diversity of the state. Sets a cap of 20 total grantees. Conditions grantee funding on the public school unit's designation of students who completed the grant-funded activities along with a matched set of students with similar demographic characteristics who did not complete the grant activities to the Common Educational Data Analysis and Reporting System. Requires evaluation and analysis of student outcomes related to matriculation, STEM, and employment when possible and in a manner directed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Requires the North Carolina Longitudinal Data System, in cooperation with agencies with the relevant data, to report those outcomes annually to the specified NCGA committee starting in 2028 and ending in 2039.
